Gameplay

The gameplay of Minna de Bokujō Monogatari is very different than previous Harvest Moon games. There is no town, no NPCs, and no friendship/marriage. The game instead resembles a Facebook game, where events run in real time (i.e. It takes 2 minutes to grow a turnip). Instead of doing all the work yourself, you instead delegate the task of growing crops and attending to animals to various harvest sprites. This allows you to assign them to a task, leave the game, and come back later to check on the progress.[1]

The player can complete quests assigned by the Harvest Goddess in order to earn gold, resources, and more harvest sprites. As Fogu describes the game, you “accept a quest, complete its requirements, and then move onto a new quest.”[2]

Harvest Moon: Indonesia

An Indonesian version of Minna de Bokujō Monogatari exists, called Harvest Moon: Indonesia. It was published by Prodigy Infinitech. Harvest Moon: Indonesia was instead released as a Facebook game rather than a browser game. The gameplay is almost identical to that of Minna de Bokujō Monogatari, but Prodigy Infinitech added many new animals, quests, and decorations.[3] The server for Harvest Moon: Indonesia was shut down on May 31, 2013.
